Following the increasingly warm business ties between Greece and Israel, Papazoglou sees many opportunities for collaboration in the fields of energy, tourism, agribusiness, technology and defense, and EY in Greece stands ready to assist Israelis looking to do business in the country. “The investment climate in Greece is improving day-by-day, as confirmed by our latest Attractiveness Survey, which showed that the international investor community is appreciating the policies adopted by the government and the country’s comparative advantages, including infrastructure, the high level of labor skills and political stability. Through EY’s end-to-end services and in-depth knowledge of the Greek market, we support our Israeli partners identify opportunities, expand their activities in Greece and achieve the best possible outcome for their investment” he highlighted.
According to our EY’s 2021 survey, Greece is the eighth most attractive investment destination, right behind Europe’s six largest economies and Belgium, with 75% of investors expecting its attractiveness to further improve over the next three years – the highest figure among the European countries surveyed. “The investment mix is drastically changing as well, realigning the economy, with professional services and IT and software attracting more than half of actual investment projects last year. While there is certainly room for further improvement, I am optimistic that if we can keep building on this positive impetus attracting quality investments, Greece will be able to solidify its place as a primary investment destination” Papazoglou concluded.
